    Fun and Simple Family Game

    This game is becoming a quick family favorite. I’d also like to point out that we have a teenager with special needs who has never really enjoyed family game night over the years (turn taking, strategy, rules, etc are too much) but he has a fabulous imagination and sense of humor so this game has been a perfect way to include EVERYONE. Laughs that can include all of our kids get 5 stars from this mom!

    Great party game!

    It's a very creative way to use the card scenarios to avoid death and quite fun between friends, my only complaint witch isn't much of it if that you need at least 4 people you can play woth 3 but it doesn't move right.

    Hilarious

    This game is so much fun! It's kind of played like Apples to Apples, where you have a judge who reads a card and people choose cards from their hand. But, instead of words, like in Apples to Apples, the judge reads a scenario in which you are face to face with a murderer. You choose 3 cards from your hand to create a scenario in which you escape the situation. So, you may have to come up with a story about how you escaped a scary clown using a salad spinner, a hockey stick, and a birthday cake. The judge listens to everyone's stories and chooses the winner. In my family we usually choose the f

    Good fun!

    It's a fun game! We played with some friends for game night! The only thing is that you can't continuously play it or you would be repeating scenarios!

    Fun for the entire family!

    Our family loves this game! We keep it in the car so we can play on long car rides or even in a restaurant while we wait for a table - We have children ages 11 and 16...had to weed out a few cards, but overall, very family friendly!
